Elizabeth Holmes Speaks on Prison Life, Motherhood, and Redemption

The convicted Theranos founder opens up about her struggles, family, and plans for reform during her nine-year sentence in Texas.

Elizabeth Holmes, serving a nine-year sentence for fraud, describes prison as 'hell and torture' but says she is focused on personal growth and criminal justice reform.
Holmes shares the emotional toll of being separated from her two young children, William, 3, and Invicta, 2, during their weekend visits to the facility.
She maintains her innocence, asserting that Theranos' failure was not fraud, and continues to work on healthcare patents while incarcerated.
Holmes has taken on roles helping fellow inmates with résumés and legal cases, while also advocating for prison reforms, including better support for incarcerated mothers.
Scheduled for release in 2032, Holmes expresses plans to return to the healthcare industry and continue her advocacy for systemic changes in the criminal justice system.
